Mark's Pork Tenderloin


I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
And in His word I do hope.
Psalm 130:5

Brother Ken started a new sermon series yesterday on waiting for God. I know I will personally benefit greatly from these sermons, since I hate waiting. Larry, on-the-other-hand, is a great waiter. I often accuse him of being patient to a fault! The difference in the way each of us choose to do things, based on this ability to wait, shows up in all situations of life - including the way we prepare food.

Larry usually cooks for our Sunday school class a few times each year. Yesterday was one of those times. He decided to cook pork tenderloin and biscuits. After some serious consultation with "seasoned pork tenderloin grillers," Terry, Julie and Mark, Larry had his recipe, which included Lawry's Season Salt. Y'all know, Larry was elated when they told him to put some Lawry's up on that tenderloin!!! As I've shared before, Larry loves the Lawry's!!

Now that he had his recipe and instructions, Larry then had to decide how to cook the meat. Grilling generally takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Smoking takes from about an hour and a half to two hours. Me? - I'm heating that grill, Baby! Not Larry! He's up two hours early on a Sunday morning gettin' that smoker goin'!

Both, grilled and smoked, are delicious! We all loved Larry's smoked version and found it very moist and tasty!! His patience paid off, and we all benefited!! Thank you, Larry!!

Hungry Jack Frozen Biscuits

Piggly Wiggly had Hungry Jack's new frozen biscuits. We decided to give them a try! We thought they were slightly different from Mary B's and Pillsbury. Very good!! There are two versions: Southern Style and Buttermilk.

Lawry's Season Salt and Wham Seasoning

Pork Tenderloin and Biscuit


Mark's Pork Tenderloin

Preheat grill or oven to about 350 degrees. If smoking, prepare smoker according to manufacturer's directions.

Remove tenderloin from package; rinse and pat dry.

Sprinkle with Lawry's Season Salt and Willingham's Wham Seasoning World Champion Rub'n BBQ Spice.

Cook until a meat thermometer reaches at least 160 degrees. If cooking in the oven or on the grill, this should take about 30 - 45 minutes, depending on the size of the tenderloin. Smoking will probably take 1 1/2 - 2 hours, depending on the size of the tenderloin.

Remove from heat; wrap in foil and allow to sit for about 30 minutes before slicing!

    Mmmmm--a simple and delicious way to start any day! My mouth is watering--I LOVE pork tenderloin any way you cook it. My fave way is to salt and pepper it, grate a sweet onion and slather the meat w/ it and bake it for an hour and a half or so.

    I'm going to put bacon on the back burner the next time pork tenderloin goes on sale--I have to do this for breakfast one morning...yummy!

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share

Georgia Cornbread Cake

I clipped this recipe several years ago from American Profile, which is a small magazine insert that come with our local newspaper, The Pontotoc Progress. It is yummy, yummy, yummy!  I love the story that accompanied the recipe and was delighted when a Google searched turned up the same article on the web! Larry took this to work, and he said it was a huge hit with everyone! Enjoy! Georgia Cornbread Cake Georgia Cornbread Cake   Recipe of Stella T.
